Whats the best weapon?

[Bastila Shan]

Sword, dagger, spear? What works best?

[*D4rKsKy*]

For me personally sword but it depends really in what situation u are.

[theo_yells]

I've used just sword, daggers don't do enough light damage and heavy weapons are way too slow.

[Bastila Shan]

I was looking at someone owning with the trident spear on youtube, i cant decide if thats better than the sword.

[Suzaku]

Pick whatever works for you, but I can say one thing for sure: keep a heavy weapon on you. Heavy blade/blunt weapons deal tremendous damage with the Overpower attack, and more importantly can repeat that same strike up to 3 times if there's more than one enemy within range. 3 overpowers for the price of 1 is just lovely.

Sword and spear for me.

The staffs are amazing. They have speed and crow control

Depends on what you're building

Like it would be stupid to have a dagger that does poison damage but your set increases the burning rate of the fire effect

Its all about what goes well together

I would recommend the snake set with the dagger of kronus

Engravings would be:

Weapon: Weapon damage becomes poison damage
Helmet: Crit damage
Gloves: Crit Chance
Chest: Elemental buildup
Waist: Elemental Buildup
Boots: Warrior Damage

Or you could do something like the agamemnon set with prometheus's sika

Engravings would be:

Weapon: Weapon damage becomes fire damage
Helmet: Crit damage
Gloves: Crit chance
Chest: Elemental buildup
Waist: Elemental buildup
Boots: 1% all damage

OR! If you want to try my favorite set use the legendary pirate set with gorgoneion xiphos

Engravings would be:

Weapon: Weapon damage becomes poison damage
Helmet: Crit damage
Gloves: Crit chance
Chest: Crit damage
Waist: Warrior damage
Boots: 100% damage but health capped at 25%

The pirate set is about critting and being stealthy

The snake set is about poison damage and melting the enemies

The agamemnon set is about triggering the fire ticks faster, thus having more elemental buildup will apply fire effect faster and fire damage will increase the damage per tick

Achilles bow. Cleared everything with ranged myself using mainly predator shot. Focus on crit%, headshot damage, crit damage, crit chance&damage on full health...you get the point. Almost critted a million and that was at level 48 with nowhere near perfect gear. Makes the game easy af though.

To add, sets don't seem worth it to me since when you get them, you learn to engrave their set bonuses to epic gear thus making them obsolete. Epic item has 3+1 properties in each item while set items only have 2+1. Stupid design imo.

i personally love using the axe but in the end it's just personal preference

[Bridge_track]

It depends on you. I think spear and axe are the best. the attack range of spear is great, but it takes long to finish a set of combo. Axe cand break up small shield with light attack and it's amazing when fighting with several enemies. but I prefer sword in relatively easy situation because it looks cool.

[Bridge_track]

the damage of bows in this game is really amazing, and at least 60% of my damage is by bows.

[bakasora]

You meant to ask "Which weapon do you prefer most?"

[Tox Laximus]

None of them know, why u ask these people?

[Godzilla ツ]

i use a heavy axe and that works best for me, no shield can resist that blow and it takes out my enemies faster than with a sword or spear

[Lightning]

Bow is the best imo
